1. Do: Carefully Consider How Your Dog Is Likely To Behave In The Workplace



Although bringing your dog to work is a very common trend, it's important to carefully consider whether your dog is fit for the office surroundings. This choice calls for thorough knowledge of the personality, temperament, and behavioural habits of your dog. As a conscientious pet owner, you have to take into account certain elements that could influence the comfort of your colleagues as well as the welfare of your dog.
First and most importantly evaluate your dog's socialising ability. More likely to fit an office atmosphere is a well-socialized dog that is at ease around strangers and can remain quiet in novel surroundings. Think on your dog's response to strange persons, noises, and circumstances. When your animal companion comes upon fresh stimulation, does it start to get nervous or too excited? If so, the workplace may show to be a tense setting for them.
Assess also the energy level and activity requirements of your dog. Different breeds call for different levels of mental and physical stimulation. If your dog requires regular walks or play sessions and exhibits high energy levels, you have to really evaluate if you can satisfy these demands while still fulfilling your job duties. In an office, a bored or underactive dog could grow agitated, disruptive, or even destructive.
You also have to take much thought on your dog's vocalising tendencies. Does your dog start to bark often or grow noisy in response to attention? Excessive barking can be quite disruptive to your coworkers in a company and could lower output. Should your dog be talkative, it would be advisable to leave them at home so they may express themselves unhindered without creating noise.
Consider also your dog's degree of training and obedience. A well-trained dog that answers consistently to simple commands as "sit," "stay," and "come" is more likely to behave professionally. Think about whether your dog can remain quiet and collected for long stretches of time since they might have to sit in one place while you go to meetings or concentrate on critical work.
Additionally important is taking into account any particular behavioural problems your dog could have. For example, bringing your dog to work could seem like a fix if they suffer with separation anxiety when left alone. If you must leave them unattended for lengths of time during the day, though, this could aggravate the situation. Likewise, if your dog marks their territory or chews on objects, these actions could seriously disrupt a workplace.
Finally consider your dog's general demeanour and how it fits the corporate environment. While some dogs may be more sensitive to environmental changes or highly strung, others are naturally more relaxed and flexible. A calm, laid-back dog is more likely to fit naturally into a work environment without upsetting others or being unduly agitated.
You can decide whether taking your dog to work is really in their best interest by giving these elements great thought and honest evaluation of their behaviour. Remember, your main obligation is to make sure your animal buddy is comfortable and well-off even if you might like having them by your side all day. Should you find that your dog would be more content and calm at home, you should give their needs top priority over your demand for dog company at work.
